[ laughter ] >> but it has been a very nice day outside today. we have a lot of sunshine coming our way. a little fog showing up in the north bay valleys. the temperatures are going to be warming up nicely though. in fact, we're seeing those offshore winds blowing already. numbers up in the 50s as you approach the coastline. by the afternoon, how about this? 60s and 70s. the weekend looking good too. but we do have some showers coming our way next week, eliz
